TEHRAN, Feb. 16 (MNA) – Researchers in Royan Institute have succeeded in developing a 3D bioprinter or bioplotter, unveiled the product on Thursday.

The project manager told Iran’s state news agency IRNA that 3D printers were common in some parts of the world and Royan Institute had the honor to develop the printer; Majid Halvaei said the project initiated four years ago in the Institute and a group of scientists had been working in designing and building the printer; “3D bioprinter creates cell patterns in a confined space using 3D printing which preserves all cell features within the final structure printed; the first step will be to print vessels, bones, and cartilages; the more ambitious scheme seeks to render a 3D version of more complex body parts such as vessels in a bone tissue and kidney,” he told IRNA.

Royan International Twin Congress was held on August 30th to September 1st, 2017. The 18th Congress on Reproductive Biomedicine and 13th Congress on Stem Cell Biology and Technology were held at Milad Conference hall with more than 1800 participants.

32 foreign researchers likewise five winners of 18th International Research Award were invited to this congress to have lectures and discuss about Personalized Medicine in Infertility, ART Failure, Endometriosis, ART Outcomes, Molecular Aspects in Reproduction, Oncofertility, Artificial Gonads & Gamet Biology, Antioxidants and Fertility, Animal Biotechnology, Cellular and Molecular Mechanisms in Stem Cell Research, Stem Cell Research in Developmental Biology, Current Advances in Regenerative Medicine and Cell Therapy, Regenerative Medicine and Immunotherapy, Stem Cell Research in Neuromuscular System and Cell Engineering, Challenges in the Translation of Cell Therapy, Current Advances in Regenerative Medicine and Cell Engineering.

The 18th Royan International Research Award wrapped up its work on August 31st, 2017 by awarding the top five international researchers beside five national scientists selected from among 239 research articles of 45 countries.Winners of Royan 18th International Research Award gave lectures at Royan Twin Congress on Reproductive Biomedicine and Stem Cell Biology and Technology along with invited speakers to almost 1840 audiences.

Increasing the citations to Cell Journal, increased its impact factor to 1.636.

Researchers can register and submit their related articles online. This journal accepts (Original articles, Review articles, Short communications, Case reports, Editorial, Images in Biology papers and Letter to editor) in the field of cellular and molecular science.
